    Title: NESHAP for Paper and Other Web Coating (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1951.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0511.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2006. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An 
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for paper and other web coating were proposed on 
September 13,

[[Page 29146]]

2000 (65 FR 55331), and promulgated on December 4, 2002 (67 FR 72341). 
These standards apply to each existing, new, or reconstructed paper and 
other web coating (POWC).
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make the 
following notification: (1) Initial notification; (2) notification of 
performance test; and (3) notification of compliance status. Affected 
sources must submit performance test reports, and a startup, shutdown, 
malfunction (SSM) report. Owners or operators are also required to 
maintain records on a monthly basis. They are: (1) Continuous emission 
monitor data; (2) control device and capture system operating parameter 
data; (3) organic HAP content data; (4) volatile matter and coating 
solids content data; (5) overall control efficiency determination using 
capture efficiency and control device; (6) material usage, organic HAP 
usage, volatile matter usage, and coating solids usage; and (7) liquid-
liquid material balances. Semiannual compliance reports are also 
required.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart 
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at 
least five years following the collection of such measurements, 
maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated 
state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated 
authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA's 
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 23 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train 
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search 
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and 
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Paper and other web coating 
facility.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 215.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially, semiannually, and 
monthly.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,312.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,765,220, which includes $233,000 
annualized capital/startup costs, $619,000 O&M costs and $913,229 in 
labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 30,150 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden from the most recently 
approved ICR is due to the requirements of the rule that states all 
existing sources must be in compliance within three years of 
promulgation date, thus, less burden is imposed on existing sources.
    Also, in the previous ICR, 226 respondents read the rule and 
determined that they were not subject, since this is a one-time-only 
activity, the number of respondents is 226 less than in the previous 
ICR.
    There was a decrease in the capital/startup and operations and 
maintenance (O&M) costs from the previous ICR. The reason for this 
decrease is because we are accounting only for the number of 
respondents associated with the O&M costs, not for the number of annual 
reports used in the previous ICR. Also, there are only 6 new sources 
per year versus 18 in the previous ICR.
